Sugar Spike
Installation / Interaction
2024
About the project
A data-driven installation tracing the human and environmental cost of sugar through a drip mechanism, a slide projector and a deforestation map.
Live sugar-price data controls a drip mechanism. Clear liquid turns blood-red on contact with sugar. A slide projector, a dehydrating sugarcane stand and a deforestation map connect everyday consumption with its labor and ecological consequences.
